At the time, Ukrainian leaders and the international community condemned the move as illegal, with hundreds of thousands who opposed Russian occupation fleeing the peninsula. Ms Lyutikova was born and raised there, and still holds on to the hope that they can return home one day in the future. “I really want, while she is a child, for her to feel what it is like to run along the shore of our Black Sea.

Mr Dzhemilev also shared with CNA about his phone call with Mr Putin 10 years on from that fateful day.
